I'm still going to buy it . I agee with most on here that the internet has diminished it's appeal , but I like a physical magazine - especially for the bog . I hope the new publishing organisation works out ; and there's one big plus - no more Swans in Flight ads

We've not gigged for a little over a month - we all had a bit of this (I think it's refered to as 'playing "out" ') . Not the numbers we normally get - weather probably . Tried a new pedal out (Prunes and Custard) , just need to get to grips with it how it sits in the band . Couldn't get a decent sound out of my other fuzzes , so need to spend a bit of time . Actually getting a lie in tomorrow (today) , that is going to go past 9am (be a first) . Guitarists as per usual , too loud , and faffing with there tuning all the time . Bit of a non descript pants gig all in

Bought a Prunes and Custard off of Al , and a great guy to deal with . Good communication , and arrived well packaged . Great guy .

[quote name='JakeBrownBass' timestamp='1335337768' post='1629339'] Picked up a mini Polytune yesterday and it's fantastic!! The size is amazing, the tracking is so much quicker than my previous DT10 and it looks as cool as you can get. At £65 i think its by far the best tuner out there at the moment for price. I don't believe Peterson tuners are worth the hefty price tag, a mixture of a standard tuner and your ear are equally as good IMO. Of course if you make a living setting up basses and need the maximum accuracy for intonation or record in the studio every day i'd go for the polytune. [/quote]Yep , love mine . Probably the best £65 I've ever spent - how sad am I ?

Hi James , welcome aboard . It was me who sent you the link to this , as I said earlier on in this thread , that I couldn't stand this behaviour . On the face of it , it looked quite dodgy , and now reading all of this , I now feel somewhat bad writing what I did . It has though , given you the chance to explain what happened , and it seems to be a communications issue , and that's all . Sorry if I initially caused any ill feeling , but I feel , it's worked out well . As now you've joined the best Bass forum on the planet , and by trading any gear on here - either in or out - you're going to deal with gentlemen of the highest order (most of the time ) , and realise where your new home is . No hard feelings mate , and welcome again x

Sent a message . I can't abide this behaviour .

Look halfway down this page . It's not one of his main pedals , but could be a custom option . [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f36/[sfx]-user-appreciation-society-807501/index6.html"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f36/[sfx]-user-appreciation-society-807501/index6.html[/url]

[quote name='thisnameistaken' timestamp='1334594641' post='1618223'] I still quite like 'Testes, one two'. Twenty years of it and I still chuckle. [/quote]I can't believe I've never heard this one . I'm gonna use it next week .

On my wavelength , mate . When I finally get around to selling some gear and buying a headed Status Stealth , these are going to be the 3 colours that I'm going to debate on . Don't know what Rob Green will think though , hehe .

[quote name='Nibody' timestamp='1333831523' post='1607219'] On a similair note (Job Interview) I was asked to Interview for "Forensic Alliance" a good few years back, as a Forensics Technician (Private company does a lot of the "CSI" stuff for the police). They dragged me down to Oxford for a days interview, all whent well till the end of the day, when they announced I was under qualified for the role. Did they not bother to read the CV before dragging me fifty miles and an unpaid days leave from work? [/quote]It beggars belief , that a company that specialises in the scrutiny of - data , DNA etc , can't even look at a 2 or 3 page CV .

Drove from Norfolk for a weekend festival on the Isle of Wight , and left my amp at home . Borrowed for the first day , but the second day , had to use an old HH MA100 PA head "they found out the back" - not a striking tone from that , hehe . When I was a young'n , I forgot my strap , and did the gig sitting down . I wonder if Anthony Jackson saw me play and stole the idea for playing sitting down from me - though I'm less portly than him

[quote name='Al Heeley' timestamp='1332768562' post='1592775'] Just got my mini polytune. It's so cute! Don't care if it is a downgrade or lacks polyphonic functionailty, this is a tiny little must-have on anyones board. Also for me the clearest in-gig tuning display of any stompy pedal and fast response. Did I mention how cute it is? [/quote]Used mine for the first time this Saturday , and I agree with all of the above .

[quote name='markorbit' timestamp='1332629645' post='1591050'] How about the 2012 Ampeg Heritage B-15? Think the UK RRP is £4995. That'll be about £166 per watt. Only 100 made worldwide and probably presold already. Btw, anyone needing a mint Hellborg preamp could do worse than email me and make a decentish offer... [/quote]What's the Hellborg like , in relation to the Eden . Thinking of maybe going modular again . How good is the Hellborg ?

They had "Don't give up" on Radio this morning , and I just love that bassline . I can't really think of many basslines that are as integral to a tune (let alone a ballad) as that one . Double stops all the way - lovely

Ricky - Iconic look , but does nothing for me . Thunderbird - as above . Hofner Beatle bass - tried one , and can't see the attration . (unless the look is desirable , ie tibute stuff) Alembic Stanley Clarke - superb build , but doesn't even balance right - neck dive badly on the one I tried . As mentioned , it's each to their own (as with cars and women etc . )

Mine arrived today . Yet to try it , but it's hard to believe how small it is until you have it in your hand - it looks great . My first 'pedal' tuner

Lovin the micro look . Was after tuner , and it'll fit just nice on my ever expanding micro pedal board . So I've just bought one , hehe

Used to love driving back from Canvey years ago , and looking at the power station lights - found them quite magical . Once I hit the A12 , that feeling went . Used to fall asleep at the wheel quite a lot , not now though . Used to quite like Bob Harris on the way home , but strangely a bit bored by him now . Oh and I've too listened to the shipping forecast , can't make head nor tail of it , but find it quite calming , thinking of all the small boats out there . Strange thoughts sometimes , late at night . Quite enjoy the trip home , often more than the trip to the gig - bizarre .

Lovely looking bass , and right up my street , but frankly too expensive . There just seems to be a couple of people asking way too much for these now , and I recon around about the grand mark is about right , but as usual it's market forces . There's a nice white one on their also at this moment . The seller is saying how this is a bargin at 1.4K , as the others on Ebay are higher . Completetly failing to understand that the others haven't sold for months now .

There's a guy on here with an Eden 212XLT 4 ohm , up for around £300 , I think . Awesome cab for the money .
